ITS pRERoGATIvEs VIEWED FROM TWO

[Arkansaw Traveller
Two men were standing in the lob
BY ola hotel, quarreling, when a
quick.motioned fellow who had TAX
en- no part in the controversy which
led to the quarrel, stepped forward
and, just as one contestant was about
to strike his opponent, the intruder
showed him away and administered
the blow himself. When the man
had been helped up, and after his
nose had been bathed, he turned To
the fellow who had struck him and
said:
'Jenkens, what in thunder did
you hit me forY / have never done
you any harm.'
II know that, Bob.n
"Then, why did you hit meg
well, I'll tell you. I've always
been friend of yours, haven't ! n

Until this very minute and shall

the fellow YOU were quarreling with
was going to hit you"

And knew that as long as you
had to be hit that you'd rather be

who cares for you, than by stran-

at heart. / tell you, Bob, we must
consult each others feeling. Why,
you never met that fellow until to-
day and he had no right to hit you. I

Eyes, you are right. If there's
any hitting to be done, it should be
done by men who are acquainted
with each other
"Yes.v

"You are right
"You and / are friends, are we
not, jenkins ~
"That's what we are"
"All right" replied Bob, and,
@hauling off," he struck Jenkins in
the mouth and knocked him sense

ciousness, and as he held two Of his
teeth in his hand, he said:
"Bob, have found out that friend

The following items of interest are taken
from the Walker Lake Bulletin Of last We'd
nesday:
Considerable more work in the way OF
repairs was needed at the Kinkead mill than
had been expected, and the work is not all
done yet. In the meantime the mill is
working Lapanta ore and has crushed about
thirty tons.
lobe Crossman and Billy Mcdonald are
doing well at the Big Indian. They have a
good ledge Of ore that assays we'll. The
mine has always been a favorite with the old
miners around this section and their faith
seems about to be verified. For years badly
managed and then for years tied up by legal
forms, not much good could be reasonably
expected, but now, in new hands and free
from encumbrances the mine will be work
ed Systematically and its great promis will
be given chance for fullhlment. The mine
is so situated as to be easily worked and the
convenient milling facilities make the prop
erty one of probably great and immediate
value,

Daniel Swart, an old and well known Ly.
on county man, was run over by a V. Il T.,
freight train in the Gold Hill yard last
Wednesday afternoon and received injuries
from which he almost Immediately died.
Mr.. Swart had delivered load Of wood TO
party living near the freight depot in Gold
Hill, and after receiving pay for the same
started to return TO his team which was on
the other side OF the track. Being some
what deaf he did not hear the approach Of
an engine and box-car that were coming
down on the track upon which he was walk
ing, and the car struck him, knocking him
down and running over his left leg and crush
ing it from the ankle to the thigh. One truck
OF the car only passed over him. Mr.. Swart
was carried to the waiting room OF the pas
senger depot and Drs. Manson and Conn at
once summoned. Upon the arrival Of the
doctors it was decided that amputation was
necessary, therefore the injured man was put
under the influence Of chloroform and the
operation performed. He did not survive.
Mr.. Swart was and old resident Of this
county, and at one time was quite wealthy.
OF late years he has resided in Silver City
and has been hauling wood 10 various places
from the Como mountains. He was 81 years
OF age, and leaves a widow and four children
in Silver City, also brother who resides in
Dayton. The funeral took place yesterday
at Silver City. and was largely attended by
friends Of the family.

The COmo-Eureka.

The ledge on the 400 foot level Of the Co
mo-Eureka mine, at Como, has been struck.
1t is on an average four feet in width and
some Of the finest looking rock ever taken
from that mine is now being hoisted. The
company will start the mill the first of next
week and will run through about ten tons
per day. Yesterday they began hosting
rock, and they have the ore in the mine in
such condition that with little more help
from 80 to so tons per day can be taken out.
There is plenty of wood new at the mill and
at the works, and a steady run will be made.
1t is also thought some Of the ore will be
hauled to some mill on the Carson river to
be worked. as the mill at Palmyra cannot
handle it all. Success is now looked for in
the Como Eureka.

Suicide of Louis HAYES.

Word reached here last Monday evening
that man had been found dead near the
Sutro ranch. The information was brought
to Sutro by two vaqueros from the Vail
ranch. George Rammelkamp and several
other Sutroites, accompanied by Coroner
Davis of that place Immediately set out to
find the remains. The body was found
leaning against bank midway between the
Sutro ranch and the Douglass tailings reser.
voir, and upon examination it proved to be
that of Louis Hayes, an old German, we'll
known in this part Of the country. In his
pockets were found a Union Hotel bill re-.
ceipted, and a receipt from G. T Mayre 81
Co. for 100 shares of Gould and Curry stock.
A 38-calibre bulldog revolver with three
chambers empty and three loaded, was ly-
ing on the ground near the body, and bull
let hole through the head shaved how Hayes
came to his death. From all appearances
the body had been lying where it was found
for a week or ten days, and a coroners jury
found verdict to this effect before the bur
ial Monday. Hayes was native of Ham
burg, aged about 90 years. In his younger
days he followed the life of a sailor and
was at one time in the slave trade. 1t is
also reported that he made several piratical
voyages, and visited nearly every port on the
globe before he came to this coast some IS
years ago. For the last 20 years Hayes fol-
lowed the business of mining in Gold Can
yon, and made considerable money. Last
Fall he sold his ground to a company of Chi
namen, and since that time has been almost
continually under the influence Of liquor.
He was great hand to play faro, but was
never known to win, and the superstition is
that having gambled off the last Of his
money-some $35o-which he drew from
VIM. Kean some weeks ago, he became dis
gusted with his life and therefore ended it.
Hayes was not known to have any relatives
in this country.

Last Sunday. while hunting stock in the
hills near Como, George Reed was thrown
from his horse and quite badly hurt by the
animal stepping on his ankle and crushing
it. Mr. Reed had no way Of communicating
his misfortune to anyone until Wednesday,
when he sent word by a teamster Of what
had occurred. Gus Perkins then went after
Mr.. Reed and brought him home. The in
jury is not considered a very serious one by
the doctor, but it will be some little time
before Reed will be able to use the injured
limb.
